My MIL makes wedding cakes for a living. She recently received an invite to a wedding reception, and stated she had already received an invitation to the actual wedding. I asked what she meant, like 2 separate invitations? And she said yes, because...
Turns out, the bride is inviting anyone and everyone to the wedding, but only a few are invited to the reception. I guess MIL made the cut since she's doing their cake.
How awkward is that conversation going to be?
"Thanks for coming!"
"We'll see you at the reception!"
"Actually... no you weren't invited to that part. Thanks again byyyyeeee"
Re: Just wanting to snark with like-minded individuals
How do you even believe that is going to not cause hurt feelings? I have always assumed if I'm invited to the wedding that I'm invited to the reception.
Gift grabby much?
"You're welcome - thanks for having us! Can't wait to see your first dance."
"Sorry, you're not invited. You don't have to go home, but you gotta get the hell up outta here."
